Let's start off with our two latest winners in the weekly gift card drawings:
Bailey recommends The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak: " It had lots of figurative language and was narrated in an interesting way."
Deniz recommends The Key to the Golden Firebird by Maureen Johnson: "It is a heart-warming story of how three sisters cope with the death of their father. They each handle it in different ways and separate from each other, but in the end, the love of family never ceases, and brings them back together. It's a very cherishable story."
Bailey and Deniz both win $10 Target gift cards! Get your recommendations in -- we will have one more drawing at the end of this week!
Grace recommends Little Women by Louisa May Alcott: "It's about four sisters who are just regular girls and all the adventures they had together."
Teigan recommends The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter: "This story gives you a different look at the Greek gods and how they interact in Kate's life. You also see Hades as a different person and hear how it really went when he kidnapped Persephone."
Shane recommends City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare: "The series is about Shadowhunters who are of angel descent and they fight demons."
Jennifer recommends Tempest by Julie Cross: "It is exciting, it's a romantic book. It has to do with the CIA and about people time-traveling."
Brooke recommends 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson: "The library reading program this year is all about travel and so is the book. The main character Ginny goes on a long travel that her aunt sends her on."
Aynur recommends Bakuman by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata: "It talks about their different goals and dreams and what they do to achieve it. Also, it tells you to keep trying even if you failed or a family member failed."
Merci recommends Salvation by Anne Osterlund: "It's a romantic story between the most popular guy falling for the girl that is the walking disaster of high school."
Aiden recommends The Loners by Lex Thomas: "It has high intensity, and is very hard to put down."
Daniel recommends The Maze of Bones by Rick Riordan: "It is action-packed and makes you think. It's full of suspense and awesome to the end. I can't wait to read the next book!"
